How can I differentiate between Ionic compounds, molecular compounds, and acids given only the formula? I need to be able to fin

You can differentiate between ionic, covalent and molecular compounds by the fact that ionic compounds contain elements that include both a metal and a nonmetal. Molecular compounds contain both non metals covalently bonded to each other. While acids most often on their chemical formula start with the element of Hydrogen - H.

For Eg - sulphuric acid
H2SO4
hydrochloric acid - HCl.

What is the boiling point of a solution of 76 g of water dissolved in 500 mL of acetic acid, CH3COOH?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

127.3° C, (This is not a choice)

Explanation:

This is about the colligative property of boiling point.

ΔT = Kb . m . i

Where:

ΔT = T° boling of solution - T° boiling of pure solvent

Kb = Boiling constant

m = molal (mol/kg)

i = Van't Hoff factor (number of particles dissolved in solution)

Water is not a ionic compound, but we assume that i = 2

H₂O →  H⁺  +  OH⁻

T° boling of solution - 118.1°C =  0.52°C . m . 2

Mass of solvent =  Solvent volume / Solvent density

Mass of solvent = 500 mL / 1.049g/mL → 476.6 g

Mol of water are mass / molar mass

76 g / 18g/m = 4.22 moles

These moles are in 476.6 g

Mol / kg = molal → 4.22 m / 0.4766 kg = 8.85 m

T° boling of solution =  0.52°C . 8.85 m . 2 + 118.1°C =  127.3°C

Boron sulfide, B2S3(s), reacts violently with water to form dissolved boric acid (H3BO3) and hydrogen sulfide gas.Express your a
ioda

Answer:

Explanation:

From the statement of the problem,

  B₂S₃_{s} + H₂O_{l}  →  H₃BO₃_{aq} + H₂S_{g}

              B₂S₃ + H₂O  →  H₃BO₃ + H₂S

We that the above expression does not conform with the law of conservation of mass:

To obey the law, we need to derive a balanced reaction equation:

   Let us use the mathematical method to obtain a balanced equation.

let the balanced equation be:

                        aB₂S₃ + bH₂O  →  cH₃BO₃ + dH₂S

where a, b, c and d will make the equation balanced.

  Conservating B: 2a = c

                          S: 3a = d

                          H: 2b = 3c + 2d

                           O: b = 3c

   if a = 1,

      c = 2,

      b = 6,

      2d = 2(6) - 3(2) = 6, d = 3

Now we can input this into our equation:

                     B₂S₃ + 6H₂O  →  2H₃BO₃ + 3H₂S

    B₂S₃_{s} + 6H₂O_{l}  →  2H₃BO₃_{aq} + 3H₂S_{g}

MgX2 Very low density Highly reactive Diatomic Using the periodic table, determine which element these characteristics MOST LIKE
photoshop1234 [79]
Oxygen, fluorine and iodine are diatomic elements. Flourine is more reactive than the other two because it is the closest away to filling its outer layer of electrons and becoming stable like a noble gas.
